Cut 6 m, width 45-48 cm. Real piece of fabric in the photo. Uzbek fabrics with a specific pattern have become a UNESCO world cultural heritage site. Their bright pattern is recognizable all over the world. These fabrics appeared at the beginning of a new era and became the hallmark of the region. They cannot be confused with anything today. It turned out that even today fabrics with national prints are very popular in Uzbekistan: they are used to sew clothes (and wear them!), they decorate interiors. I was lucky to meet a family that has been selling ikat in Bukhara for many years, the owner of the shop is also a fashion designer, and according to her sketches, local craftswomen sew clothes that fly all over the world. She told me that there are several types of Uzbek fabrics and their features. Ikat is the name of a specific way of creating a pattern. It is formed when using threads with partial dyeing, they form a pattern. But ikat weaving is not a unique oriental tradition; it is also found among the peoples of Africa, in Indonesia. But the peculiarity of ikat in Central Asia is that the pattern is formed only by longitudinal threads, the transverse threads are always monophonic. Traditional patterns had their own symbolic meaning, some combinations protect from enemies, some help to attract wealth, etc. But the pattern is always positive. They do not at all have that flashy brightness that we often see in the attire of modern Uzbek women. Traditional fabrics do not use chemical dyes, so they are more restrained in palette, although color combinations are quite bold. In Uzbekistan, the tradition of hand weaving has been preserved, craftsmen create ikat fabrics from different materials. Most often, cotton fabrics - adras - are used by the local population. They sew everyday clothes from it, make various things for the interior. The variety of cotton adras is amazing. Silk adras is used for elegant clothes. It is so flowing, shiny, tender. Sometimes silk is very thin, but more often there is a rather thick and dense silk fabric, with an elastic texture. Silk adras can be simply incredible beauty, but it costs more. The most expensive fabric is khan-atlas, a dense silk fabric, it is distinguished by the brightness of colors and brilliance. There is also ikat, which is woven from silk and cotton, less plastic and not with such a spectacular sheen, but also more accessible and double-sided. For the manufacture of men's dressing gowns, a different fabric is used - striped bekasab, it is woven from a mixture of silk and cotton. The fabric is pleasant to wear, and the colors are always pleasing to the eye. By the way, in recent years, ikat has been very fond of couturiers all over the world, specific patterns can be seen in many collections of 2022-2023 by famous fashion designers: from Dior, Ralph Laren, Balenciaga and Oscar de la Renta to Zara and other mass-market bands - motifs are found everywhere now ikat. In 2023, ikat is on the rise! It makes trendy and incredibly stylish clothes. Features of handmade fabrics are a narrow width (45-48 cm), at certain intervals (from 80 to 120 cm) there is a white undercoat on the fabric - a slope, these are traces of fastening to the frame. Like all natural fabrics, ikat will shrink when washed and should be washed with care as the colors may fade. Ikat is ideal in the interior: decorative pillows, tablecloth decoration (stripes), bedspreads, panels, decorative curtains are sewn from it.

The butterfly is a symbol of the soul, immortality, rebirth and resurrection, the ability to transform, to transform, since this winged celestial creature is born, transforming from a worldly caterpillar. Butterfly is considered a symbol of the Great Goddess (Great Mother, Magna Mater). The image of the Great Goddess dates back to ancient times in the history of mankind, to the Paleolithic. This supreme deity personified both heaven and earth, life and death. Birds and flying insects were associated with the Great Goddess. One of the insects representing the goddess was the butterfly. Hence the belief that witches can turn into butterflies, that butterflies promote conception and portend war. In China, this winged creature denotes immortality, leisure in abundance, joy and summer. A butterfly depicted with a plum symbolizes longevity and beauty, with a chrysanthemum - beauty in old age, with a feather - longevity. In addition, in many cultures, a butterfly symbolizes the transient nature of joy. The image of a butterfly is found in Taoist parables. So the philosopher Chuang Tzu once saw himself in a dream as a butterfly. When he woke up, he could not understand: Chuang Tzu had dreamed that he was a butterfly, or was the butterfly now dreaming that she was Chuang Tzu? Another story told by Chuang Tzu tells how a young scholar, chasing a beautiful butterfly, inadvertently entered the private property of a retired judge and, seeing his daughter, was so mesmerized by her charms that he decided to work hard and try to get her as a wife. In this he succeeded and rose to a high rank. Here, the butterfly is a sign of marital happiness, one might say, the Chinese Cupid. Among the Japanese, a butterfly symbolizes a young woman, and butterflies fluttering one around the other mean family happiness. In ancient Mexico, the butterfly belonged to the attributes of the god of vegetation, spring and love, the "Prince of Flowers" Xochipilha. In addition, she was associated with the Sun and was a symbol of swaying fire. The butterfly cut off with stone knives (itzli) is the goddess Itzpapalotl, the “Obsidian Butterfly”, the night spirit of flaming stars and at the same time a symbol of the souls of women who died during childbirth. The ancient Greeks considered the butterfly a symbol of the immortality of the soul. Psyche, whose name means "soul", was represented as a girl with butterfly wings. In Christianity, the stages of development of butterflies represent life, death and resurrection, so the butterfly is sometimes depicted in the hand of the infant Christ, which symbolizes the rebirth and resurrection of the soul. In the paintings depicting life in paradise, the soul has such wings, which the Creator places in the body of Adam. In German-Scandinavian mythology, elves, the spirits of the air, were depicted as beautiful little men with butterfly wings. Among the Slavs, first of all, ideas about the soul are associated with a butterfly. People often talk about a butterfly as the soul of the deceased or a harbinger of death, and sometimes an image of death.
